That's good and bad. Bad, because I spend far too much times indoors with the A/C on. Good because it really feels like summer and the past two have had heat and sun in only short spurts.

That first clean snowfall covering the dry grass and empty trees after the beautiful colors of fall have faded. The tiny buds of spring after the long dead winter. And the baking of the summer sun after the warm wet spring.

The waterfront is overly crowded with people on vacation while I have to work and then deal with them all over my streets on the way home from work. I work at a university so summer mean a lot less students. On the other had, summer means a lot less students so it's really quite and kinda boring right now. And I still have to work! Oh, and I love/hate work in the summer.
